Two things I love - new clothes and a cleaned-out closet. The Clothes Swap Party idea satisfies both of these indulgences, and offers some much-needed silliness with friends to boot. Not bad for one party.

Amy and I co-hosted the event. We sent out invitations (above), made some nibbles, gathered up our unwanted/unworn items, and let the chaos begin. We did impose one rule - taking turns. Each girl drew a number and took turns choosing one item at a time. It required a little strategy and a lot of patience, but we all ended up having a good time and taking home a nice stash of our friends throw-aways.
